Some code, some writing about code. Some writing not about code.

From Microsoft's Speech SDK for .NET page:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 is not compatible with the Beta 2 release of Microsoft .NET Speech SDK

I thought these sorts of compatibility problems weren't supposed to exist with .NET - what's happening here? 

Listen to the some of the steps they suggest you take to "improve compatibility":

If you have any of the following products installed, uninstall them in the following order:

 

1.      Uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

2.      Uninstall Microsoft .NET Speech SDK Beta 2

3.      Uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0

 

Reboot your computer and reinstall the following products in the following order:

 

1.      Install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0

2.      Install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 SP2

3.      Install Microsoft .NET Speech SDK Beta 2

4.      Install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

Is this a symptom of some pretty serious design flaw somewhere?  Or just bad coding on the part of the Speech SDK?

Now, I know it's a beta of the Speech SDK, but still, I don't see any reasonable reason for an SDK to require that I uninstall and reinstall both the 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the framework.  If there is a reason that this is required, then it should be fixed before this gets out of hand!  If the Speech SDK requires an updated version of some framework class (for example), then shouldn't it have it's own version of that class which gets installed "side by side" with the 1.1 version? 

Let's hope "getting rid of DLL Hell" isn't just a renaming of DLL Hell to Assembly Hell (the way a UAE turned into a GPF.. sure there were no more UAE's but..)
